Trying to take in what the memo (that has now been released) means.
Seems that the FISA court was not informed of the fact that
Clinton/DNC paid Steele for the Trump dossier.Â* Also, Steele
acknowledged to FBI that he (Steele) was "desperate" that Trump never
be elected POTUS.Â* This information was also not given to the FISA
court in the request to conduct surveillance.

I'd love to see the Democrat's version.Â* It should also be released.



Page was under FISA court surveillance long before ******** Trump
entered the nominating race. The surveillance was continued, and for
good reason, since for some years he has been a person of interest in
playing games with the Russians.

The "dossier" was initiated by Republicans who did not want Trump as the
nominee.

I'm surprised you take anything from Nunez at face value. He's Trump's
boy and has been caught more than once playing games with his committee.

Oh, I'm around. But busy.


I know and understand that Page was being watched going back to 2013.
Has absolutely nothing to do with any activities with Trump. A FISA
court order has to be reissued every 90 days and for reasons acceptable
to the court. This is where there may have been some mistakes made.

Yes, originally the Republicans paid for the opposition research but
when they stopped Hillary and Co. picked it up paid for through a law
office and that is when Steele was hired to dig up what dirt he could.
Furthermore, when the DNC stopped paying for it Steele went directly to
the FBI with his "dirt". None of this information was ever provided to
the FISA court. That could be a major problem.

I'd still like to see the Dem's version before making any conclusions.
